Tranquility

This cabin looks so cozy. I can just imagine sitting in there by the fire...maybe working on some needlwork or enjoying a cup of coffee with a friend. I long for the simpler life. I long for tranquility and peace. A world without agendas, television, or clutter. I long for deep companionship and a sense of belonging.

  3. Yes, Priscilla, I think we all long for more tranquility, a "little House On the Prairie" kind of tranquility. But, the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. That wasn't always a peaceful or tranquil existence either.

  5. I'm not asking to live in that time period. However, I am envious of the simplicity of that life. They had fewer things and therefore neater homes.
    I wish I could have a dumpster and fill it with all the junk we've collected. The only thing is: what I consider junk, other people insist we need.

  6. I completely agree. Give me a dumpster! We have three barns full of stuff and I get tired just thinking about getting rid of it. (James is planning a yard sale.)
